Heartache is powerful, but democracy is *subtle*.
So I got inside The Institute.

Is meeting "father" the actual end of the game/main story line, or does it keep going after that? I've run some missions for them, but I haven't had any missions in the entire southern half of the city so I'm assuming there's more.

It's only halfway through the main quest if you hear him out and play his reindeer games. You can of course trash talk the Institute, put a bullet in your traitor son's head, and pop smoke. Then you launch right to the endgame missions for the Brotherhood or the Railroad. Bonus points for getting to tell the BoS leader to suck your dick from the back when he freaks out about what you just did.

Yeah I opted to go with the Institute because the BoS is boring and the railroad is cool but meh. Some of the fight sequences are pretty cool.

I'm doing a playthrough right now where I just kill the factions when I first encounter them, along with most other NPCs. Burn it all to the ground.

Quick questions about Dogmeat

Is it possible to feed him with either the dog food, or cooked meat, and instead of the teddy bear, can he play with the rubber alien toy?

I actually felt bad about killing Danse. It was basically the only honorable way out for him, so I did what he wanted. If my CHA stat was higher, could I talk him into giving me his dogtags and leaving? He was absolutely dead-set on suicide by cop. Probably the first time in years a game made me feel anything at all.

Yes, you can talk him out of it, but you'll also need to whip out some brass balls to convince someone else who shows up immediately after. It's doable, though.

I've been pretty good about not spoiling stuff for myself, and I just got Kellogg tracked down, and first of all, I was dumb for going in there without ammo for like my 3 favorite weapons, so I was trying to kill that stealthy gently caress and his two bros with a armor piercing pea shooter and frag mines. Took me 7 retries I think? And secondly, The Brotherhood of Steel heli-carrier coming over the hilltop afterwards was pretty badass. I knew there was going to be a moment where you went from small-scale Fallout to poo poo is Real and I think that set the tone for things to come pretty well.

I'm towards the end of the game, and I've mostly been helping the Railroad with undercover poo poo in the institute, but haven't actually pulled the trigger. After hearing about this Red Glare thing I'm not so sure they're the good guys anymore and I'm thinking I could better save the Commonwealth atop my Institute throne

Shoulda done Institute. You still get to see Prime do his thing, after you help a synth hack it.

Weak. The Institute's Prime shenanigans last for maybe a minute, tops. The Brotherhood quest, on the other hand, is a glorious rampage across the city, wading across the river, paying tribute to war heroes, and finally drilling through the ground with laser eyes.

Obviously, your patriotism subroutines weren't engaged.

BoS ending best ending.

the BoS and Railroad endings are exactly the same minus the prime rampage so the BoS ending is better. also the railroad is a stupid faction

I was rejected by the:

I got a message saying that my settlement was under attack at Taffington Boathouse. 21 settlers there, many of them armed and armored by me just for funsies. I fast travel there expecting some raiders or super mutants and it's a mad house. The settlers are shooting each other, and the gun turrets are shooting at the settlers. Weirdly, many of the settlers had somehow acquired Institute Pistols. After the fighting dies down and the smoke clears, I loot the corpses of these settlers and find Institute Pistols and Synth Components on all of them, even on a couple I'd armored up. I count five dead synths and Taffington Boathouse goes from 21 to 16 population.

They are infiltrating my settlements. Luckily my gun turrets can turn the average settler into hamburger. I kinda wanna go to a random settlement and kill everyone to see if I'll find any Synth Components on anyone.

Edit: Built a bell that summons everyone in town to the same spot and killed them with Cryo Mines so their bodies wouldn't fly away. Synth components on two randos at another settlement, plus the Brahmin was a synth too. Apparently they sabotage your poo poo and lower happiness in your towns. I'm thinking that I should either switch my companion to Strong and go on a killing spree or order all the synths to relocate to another empty settlement that is walled off like a prison with no gate.
